Pierre Niney’s early training at the Cours Florent and the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique laid the foundation for his impressive career. Known for his remarkable performances in films such as Yves Saint Laurent (2014), Promise at Dawn (2017), A Perfect Man (2015) andBlack Box (2021), the French actor has become a prominent figure in the cinema industry. In 2010, he became the youngest male member of the prestigious Comédie-Française, a testament to his exceptional talent. Niney offered a vibrant portrayal of legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, for which he received the 2014 César Award for Best Actor at the age of 25, making him the youngest recipient of the prestigious honour. His recent role as Edmond Dantès in the highly anticipated adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo (2024) was very well-received by the critic, further solidifying his versatility as an actor, which allows him to seamlessly transition between dramatic, comedic, and thriller roles.
